157: Use it or Lose it: The Essence of Officer Discretion

March 15, 2024 07:01 - 37 minutes - 47.4 MB

There are over 18,000 police Chiefs and Sheriffs in the United States, and every one of them has their own version of what right and wrong looks like. But unless they plan on showing up at every traffic stop, they are going to have to trust that their Officers and Deputies on the front lines are doing the best they can. Empowering law enforcement officers with discretion to use their best judgment is a necessary part of policing, but there are some serious gotchas that we have to watch out...

155: Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say

February 15, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 86.7 MB

Here’s the thing about plane crashes: We all die at the same time. Inefficient and ambiguous communication has serious tactical implications when managing a crisis as a team. Sometimes, we water down what we need to say because we don’t want to step on toes or piss anyone off, especially when talking to authority figures. This is called mitigated speech, and it is something leaders and team members need to be aware of when it comes to problem solving and decision making in groups.  Episode...

154: Get with the times: Pistol Optics are the way of the present

February 01, 2024 07:01 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

For some reason there are a lot of people out there who still feel like putting an optic on your pistol isn’t reliable or practical, and our handsome hand model in the photo John Correia calls those people the Gun Amish. We agree with that title, because it’s 2024 and pistol mounted optics are a game changer. Mike and Jim talk about some of the challenges switching to a red dot sight on a handgun and some tips on how to overcome them.    Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagra...

152: Do you trust me? Selflessness in Teamwork

January 01, 2024 07:01 - 48 minutes - 57.2 MB

We say that we should put Service before Self, but it's more than just a mantra. Where the rubber meets the road is all in how we develop implicit trust among teammates so that we know where each other is going to be and what they are going to do when the going gets tough. We can accomplish this with the intentional application of Standards, Contracts, and good Debriefs.  It's one thing that we all get along, but real trust isn't something that can be assumed as a given--we've got to earn ...

151: All's Well...If We Make it Well

December 15, 2023 07:01 - 47 minutes - 54.6 MB

Wellness isn’t just a soft and fuzzy term bandied about in the Human Resources department. Healthier, happier employees perform better, and in professions where the rubber meets the road, wellness is tactical. The trite concept of Work/Life balance isn’t so trite when lives are on the line. How do you keep yourself all happy and centered and still put in the grind to do the work? Listen to this episode to hear some ideas.   Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @Ta...

150: Team Selection: Real-Life Fantasy Draft

December 01, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 85.6 MB

When drafting players for your fantasy sportsball team, stats provide an easy benchmark. Just pick the ones with the most home runs, passing yards, and the highest free-throw percentage. It’s a little harder selecting people for your real-life tactical team, but having a similar checklist in mind helps. In this episode Jim and Mike talk about what to look for.   Having a good selection procedure is important for getting the right members on a team. Mike steals a page from advertising, only...

149: A Good Commander Knows What to Control

November 15, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 106 MB

No team in law enforcement is composed of robotic textbook-following automatons, nor would we want it to be, if we’ve ever found ourselves at 2MPH over the limit. But when a worst-case incident unfolds, we want every first responder to make the right decision at the speed of life, because in those incidents seconds often equal victims. How can we raise the lowest common denominator, so our people make the right decisions quickly without rushing to failure? In this episode Mike and Jim talk...

148: Sleeping for Success

November 01, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

The downsides of sleep deprivation are legion: irritability, poor judgment, even lowered testosterone. Yet the duties of the .mil and LE career fields are well known for demanding odd and/or long hours that can make it hard to get good sleep. Mike talks with Dr. Paul Sargent of O2X, a specialist in human performances and sleep factors, in how to get the good shut-eye. Dr. Sargent retired from a 25 year Navy career that included such exotic postings as being the only psychiatrist in Anbar P...

147: Finding the Bomber

October 15, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 71.8 MB

  In the spring of 2018, the city of Austin, Texas was rocked by a string of package bombs, five in all, that killed two and injured five. The story of how local and federal agencies tracked down the perpetrator is almost all open source and a great illustration of how these investigations proceed. Listen to Jim and Mike tell the tale in this episode!   Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @TacTangents You can join the conversation in our Facebook Discussion Gro...

146: Put Me In, Coach!

October 01, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

Do you know what every great slugger in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown had in common? They all had hitting coaches. Today we have an abundance of riches in the form of internet videos to teach almost any skill, but at some point most everyone will benefit from the feedback of a skilled coach. In this episode Mike and Jim explore the value of coaching in skill building and team leadership.   Whether its an athlete of the conventional sports kind or the tactical variety found on ...

145: Both Sides of the Door - Breonna Taylor and Bad Outcomes

September 15, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 101 MB

  In the world of ugly warrant execution, there are a lot of bad scenarios that have happened with lessons to be learned for people on both sides of the door. In this episode, Mike & Jim break down a notorious recent incident: The 2020 shooting of Breonna Taylor during a narcotics warrant service in Louisville, Kentucky. While it’s about the Breonna Taylor incident, we’re focusing on the tactical issues surrounding the actual warrant service that night, not the plethora of issues that le...

144 : The Real Burdens of Everyday Carry

September 01, 2023 07:00 - 40 minutes - 48.1 MB

If you’re a habitual firearms toter, how do you carry to and from places where you can’t carry? Do you? What if it’s someplace where there’s no provision for securing it at your destination? Whether going to and from the neighborhood BJJ gym or visiting a military base, this can be a real dilemma for the carrier. In this episode, Jim and Mike take a hard look at solutions. One of our favorite topics at Tactical Tangents is realistic risk management, and this applies in the personal world a...

143: Problem Solving As A Team Sport

August 15, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 77.4 MB

In the pop-culture tactical world today it’s common to see Col. Boyd’s Decision Cycle, the famed “OODA Loop”, applied to individuals and their actions, but indeed it has its origins as an institutional concept. If you need to solve problems as a team, or even an institution, it’s important to know how it applies to group tactics and operations. In this episode Mike and Jim dive into just that.     Institutional knowledge and memory are what gets used to solve problems, and that’s why it’s...

142: Making Sure the Kids are Alright

August 01, 2023 07:01 - 55 minutes - 63.5 MB

In any organization it’s almost a tradition to turn and look at the people coming up through the ranks behind you and bemoan how much better things were in the Good Old Days. Of course, things were better then because the people who had come up through the ranks before you helped mentor you into effective operators. In this episode, Jim and Mike talk about how you can pass that mentoring on.   It’s important to feel responsibility for, not just the organization, but also for the people w...

141: Having Public Affairs Without Screwing Up

July 15, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 97.8 MB

Mike reminds us that “Responsibility to the Community” is not just a slogan on a squad car door in this episode, where he and Jim talk about the necessity of keeping the public informed in a manner that is both helpful to the public and not harmful to ongoing investigations. ”Public Affairs” is more than just a job title, and requires keeping in mind the emotions that surround complex situations.   In a job where having to come to terms with the possibility of inflicting lawful violence, i...

140: The Case of "The Mission v. The People"

July 01, 2023 07:01 - 55 minutes - 64.3 MB

In dangerous career fields like the military or law enforcement, there’s an unavoidable tension of priorities between the mission and the safety of the people on the team who need to accomplish it. It’s one thing to say you put your people first, but if it was a safe job, they wouldn’t issue body armor. In today’s episode, Mike and Jim demonstrate the ways this can be a false dichotomy and how to keep everyone on the team on the same page.  It’s important to take care of your people becaus...

139: We Don't Like Bombs, The Bombs That Go Boom

June 16, 2023 03:25 - 1 hour - 73.5 MB

Bombs are scary. You can’t shoot back at an explosion or talk it into surrendering or leaving you alone. But you can learn ways to spot the bad guy’s device before it does its thing. In today’s episode, Jim and Mike delve into some basics of the hows, whys, and wheres of improvised explosive devices to help you develop a risk picture based on likelihood and severity. Just like there are certain weather conditions that are likely to breed hurricanes or other severe storms, we’re currently e...

138: Your Candle Only Has Two Ends

June 01, 2023 07:01 - 1 hour - 76.9 MB

High-stress jobs, such as those in the military or law enforcement fields, tend to attract mission-oriented people, dedicated to the team and the public, who thrive on stress. Well, plants thrive on water, too, but you can still wind up drowning them with too much of it. In today’s episode, Jim and Mike look at job-related burnout, its negative effects on the team, and how to mitigate or avoid it.   In any tight-knit organization, attitudes are contagious, and that goes double for lousy ...

137: Most Danger Doesn't Come From Strangers

May 15, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 77.6 MB

Part of our mission here at Tactical Tangents is to overcome the “tactical fantasy”, and in this episode, Mike and Jim talk about avoiding one of the most pernicious ones. It’s easy in a world full of tacticool training classes to get focused on the sort of threats to ourselves and loved ones that jump out of the bushes and can be thwarted with kinetic skills when the truth is you probably already know the person you’re most likely to have to pepper spray. The statistical fact of the matte...

136 The Bear, The Dragon, and You

May 01, 2023 07:00 - 57 minutes - 66.3 MB

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may be over (for now) but that doesn’t leave us in a world without conflict. While we were hip-deep in the Global War on Terror, major great power competitors have been nursing grievances and feeling rising ambitions and opportunities. In this episode, Jim takes a detailed look at the state of play with respect to Russia and China, and how that could affect the US as a nation, and us as individual citizens.   While neither of our great power opponents wou...

135: Operationally Supporting Supporters Who Operate

April 15, 2023 15:48 - 52 minutes - 61 MB

In both the military and law enforcement universes, there’s often an understandable amount of friction between the people out where the action is and those who help them get there and support them in their work. In this episode, Jim and Mike discuss ways to smooth cooperation between the people behind the scenes and the officer on the street or the pilot in the seat. When you really think about it, everybody’s supporting somebody and nobody’s completing the mission alone. Learning to disting...

134: Dangerous Driving

April 01, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 83.4 MB

In a cool tactical podcast, everybody wants to talk about a gunfight and nobody wants to talk about getting t-boned in an intersection on the way to the gunfight. This episode features Mike & Jim, who’ve bent enough fenders between them to have some advice to offer, talking about the realities of driving. Whether you’re driving the government’s vehicle or your own private citizen chariot, realistic Operational Risk Management applies behind the wheel too.    Not only does viewing driving f...

133: There's Nothing "Friendly" about "Friendly Fire"

March 15, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 80 MB

The only thing more frightening than being shot at by your own team is finding out you just shot up your own team. The very idea of fratricide…aka “Blue-on-Blue” incidents…is scary, but being a professional means you can’t just be scared, you have to work on your skills and knowledge to counter the possibility of it happening to you or because of you. In this episode, Jim and Mike discuss just that. Whether it’s a pair of USAF F-15’s mistaking American Blackhawks for Iraqi Hind gunships, a...

132: You Can't Spell "Officer" without "Office"

March 01, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 53.8 MB

Offices come in a variety of shapes and guises, from a room with desks and whiteboards to the front seat of a squad car. In this solo episode, Jim sounds off on his favorite topic: Management is not a dirty word, to be shunned in favor of “leadership”. Rather, management is part of leadership. It’s the art & science of allocating and coordinating resources to meet a goal.     Jim wants to share with you several of the lessons on management he’s learned the hard way, such as when it’s time ...

131: Ending the Threat, Reasonably

February 15, 2023 07:00 - 53 minutes - 62.2 MB

Sometimes bad training passes down information that might once have been good, but garbles it. Take “Shooting to Stop the Threat”…please. This episode sees Mike and Jim discuss the nuances of using lethal force to reasonably end the capacity of an assailant to harm you. What exactly is incapacitation? What’s the difference between “shoot to kill” and to “stop”? Is intent magical? Listen to find out.  Incapacitating a threat by means of lethal force requires certain factors to be met in ord...

Short Talk: Growing into Solving Problems

February 11, 2023 22:04 - 15 minutes - 18.5 MB

For a person in a first responder line of work, being caught with an inadequate skill toolset in a critical incident can lead to the sort of feelings of helplessness that are a greased rail to PTSD-land. In this short episode, Mike talks through some ways to preemptively head off those bad feelings with good preparation.  Unlike the fixed mindset in which you’re dropped onto the planet as either Someone Who Can or Someone Who Can’t based on some immutable set of skills, a growth mindset is...

Short Talk: Spotting Zebras

February 05, 2023 07:00 - 9 minutes - 14.4 MB

In a short episode inspired by a listener question, Mike dives into the art of noticing abnormalities. An EMT instructs his trainees to put every patient on the EKG, whether the complaint is cardiac related or not. Why? So that the trainee will develop a baseline of what normal cardiac activity looks like and will be able to spot the abnormal more easily in the future.  Humans are excellent at pattern recognition…if they’ve gathered enough data to establish a baseline. Whether it’s noticin...

130: The Power of Professionalism

February 01, 2023 07:00 - 51 minutes - 60.1 MB

What is a professional? The dictionary says, at its simplest, that it’s someone paid to perform a task, as opposed to an amateur. But there’s more to it than a paycheck. In this episode, Jim and Mike examine the characteristics of what we know as professionalism, and how they apply in the world of the tactical…well, professions. Professionals don’t choke when the chips are down.     There's a high expectation of professionalism in the military and law enforcement worlds, but what does that...

Short Talk: Accentuate the Positive

January 22, 2023 07:00 - 22 minutes - 27.2 MB

Can you weaponize a positive mental outlook? In this short episode, Jim talks about positivity and optimism and how they can be cultivated and employed by leaders. When your job is basically to foresee and plan for worst-case scenarios, this can be a factor that is easy to overlook. Optimism can go beyond simplistic hooah moto slogans!    Positivity isn’t magic. You can’t optimism your way through a situation you aren’t ready for any more than you can mindset your way through a fight. Prod...

Short Talk: Go Touch Grass

January 18, 2023 07:00 - 18 minutes - 24.7 MB

In this short episode, Jim talks about the benefits he finds in taking the time to get outdoors. If you’re listening to these podcasts, you’re probably a pretty outdoorsy person, but take the time to think of the benefits of outdoor recreation: Exercise, a chance to unwind the mind from the job, and yes, even just getting into the sunshine and absorbing some of that Vitamin D love from above.    While “self care” is a term with a bit of a woo-woo feel to it, it’s necessary for people in hi...

129: Managing Resourceful Humans

January 15, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 92.4 MB

While gear is expensive and important, humans are even more so. When you’ve found the people with the right aptitudes and trained them with the right skills, how do you keep them achieving up to their capabilities? Mike and Jim discuss thishugely important part of the leadership role. Talent management is more than just a buzzword, it’s a skill!P Picking the human talent for your team and carefully developing them once they’re selected is a core element of leadership, and “management” is n...

128: You Have Questions, We Have Answers

January 01, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MB

For the first episode of the New Year, Mike and Jim tap one of the podcast’s most important resources: You, the listeners! We asked the members of the Tactical Tangents Facebook Discussion Group for a list of questions, with the promise of podcast swag for the best one. (If you’re not in the group, get in there and join!) What’s the best training for unsworn personnel to seek out to best enhance their safety on the job? How do you deal, as a leader, with that difficult team member who’s ha...

127: Getting the Band Together

December 15, 2022 07:00 - 51 minutes - 65.1 MB

The A-Team couldn’t have pulled off a caper with four B.A. Baracuses , U2 never would have been a hit with four Bonos, and nine Legolases couldn’t have gotten the One Ring to Mordor. Putting together a good team is about more than just a mix of skills, though, and in this episode Jim and Mike talk about balancing personality types to build a team of winners. Some people are daring and some are risk-averse. There are process people and results people. For every rebel, there’s an i-dotting, ...

126: The Inner Game of Thriving

December 01, 2022 13:26 - 1 hour - 105 MB

In this episode, Mike sits down for a discussion with Ross Hick. In addition to his career supervising violent felons as a Probation Surveillance Officer, Ross works as a trainer with Citizens Defense Research. One of his specialties is the psychology of critical incidents. There’s a lot of material out there on preparing for the fight, but Ross and Mike go on a deep dive about preparing for the aftermath.  Tactical skills and physical fitness can help survive the fight, but what about emo...

125: No Shi...Kidding, There I Was...

November 16, 2022 05:42 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Nobody wants to put on a show that’s all war stories. It sounds like you’re trying to fluff your resume and can bore others who’ve also been there and done that. Plus you don’t want to talk out of school. At the same time, there’s a lot of hard-won institutional knowledge that can come from those stories, especially the ones where Jim almost died. In this episode, Mike and Jim relax and let Jim share some of the lessons he’s learned from scaring himself half to death.  Hard landings, cockp...

124: Symphony of Terror

November 01, 2022 20:38 - 36 minutes - 42.7 MB

For all its chaos, the stereotypical active shooter situation is fairly straightforward: There’s a bad guy killing people, and the good guys need to close with him and stop him as quickly as possible. The events of November 2008 in the Indian city of Mumbai, however, showed us another, complex, kind of active shooter event and Mike takes a look at the takeaways from those fateful days. The Mumbai incident, perpetrated by a squad of ten terrorists who had been through a rigorous selection a...

123: A Scared Cop is a Dangerous Cop

October 15, 2022 13:55 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

There are people who believe that inserting the police in a situation makes things worse. Are they right? In this solo episode from Mike, he looks at the perils of the “fear biter” and the negative effects of an unmanaged fight or flight response on decision making skills. Stress management is important, and it can’t be learned in a PowerPoint class. The most notorious manifestation of this phenomenon is the “’Oh Sh*t!’ Bang”, where a scared or startled cop results in a lawful-but-awful sh...

122: Countering the Stalker

October 01, 2022 07:00 - 57 minutes - 68.8 MB

Whether it’s a former significant other who just won’t accept the end of a relationship, or a semi-stranger from the internet who imagines a relationship where there never was one, dealing with a stalker can be a complex, stressful, and even dangerous problem. In this episode Jim and Mike take a deep dive into recognizing, countering, and ultimately prevailing against a problem stalker. Stalking is a problem that often isn’t recognized until it’s well out of hand, and advice from friends a...

119: Instant Expertise (Just Add Experience)

August 15, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 99.3 MB

It’s easy to find yourself thrust into a position where others regard you as an ”expert”, but what really constitutes expertise? Do you have it? Can it be acquired? When will you feel like you have it? (And why feeling like an expert should be a warning sign…) What makes an expert? Are you one? Do your friends or your employer consider you one? How does one go about seeking expertise? Relatedly, it’s a big and confusing internet out there and every day you are confronted with people who c...

June 15, 2022 07:00 - 59 minutes - 69 MB
